We have the money, but she says that her hobbies are cheap and my toys are so dam expensive. I say live with it!

Doesn't that make her petty?

My wife doesn't give me any grief over spending
money on paintball. I've dropped I think a bit over
$3000 in the last month, and she doesn't mind.

Maybe that's because part of all that was a ULE body,
an X-Valve, a pair of barrels and a 68/4500 air tank
for her.

She has 3 'mags, I only own two.

My girlfriend nagged me because when I got a micro e-mag it was for me... not for her... she doesn't play paintball, hell she's seen a field that wasn't even in use only once, but thought it looked 'pretty'.

I have spent somewhere in the area of 2500-3000 dollars on paintball this year. Thats countin my upgrades from a classic mag, to an xvalved classic, to an xmag(and some trades in between)

However...seeing as i don't have to buy much more....i am happy and wont be spending more.

you really shouldnt be involved in thsi conversation since some of your paintball equipment was donated to you.

[SuiciDal Sn Y p ER]

well you can always not tell her and hide the gun

[FreakBaller12]

well if my parents did that they'd be hipocrits(sp).
My dad has thousands of dollars in guns. So he doesn't really mind that much, after i bought ym emag, yes he talked to me about it, he stopped naggin.

Excuse me?

I have every right to be in this conversation...seeing as I wasn't spending since I didn't have it in the budget. Just because I was given equipment disqualifies me from commenting on issues of finances? I'm sorry, but I couldn't disagree more.

And since I've gotten back to the sport, I saved some of my money for the customizations I added to the Emag and the PGP. Again, it's about budgeting, and communication with one's spouse.

The #1 reason for divorce is the issue of finances.

Man. Not sure what that was about...but cut me some slack. I commented because I've had some experience in this area dude...

For every dollar you spend on paintball give a dollar to her. Make a bank account if you want, marriages are supposed to be 50/50, take it literally. See if that placates her. If you don't like how much she's getting stop spending. I personally like the one for you two for me method but that's what my husband knew he was marrying into. We spend A LOT in pantball gear....
